TOYOTA GIVES THE TOYOTA AVANZA ANOTHER FACE LIFT !!!

Toyota has given the 7-seater Toyota Avanza a second facelift, after
the first facelift that also debuted the 1.5 liter model in Malaysia,
and it will be coming to Malaysia almost immediately right after the
Indonesian launch this morning.

Five spec levels will be available
in Malaysia – the 1.5S (RM78.5k), the 1.5G (RM74.5k), the 1.5E (RM70k),
the 1.3E automatic (RM65.8k) and the 1.3E manual (RM62.5k). All the 1.5
liter versions only come with automatic transmissions. These are
estimated prices for Peninsular Malaysia private registration.

The
changes on the exterior are mostly aesthetic, while on the interior you
get a new dashboard colour that is a mixture of grey and beige that
Toyota calls “greige”. The 3-spoke steering wheel is also now a 4-spoke
design while the center dash area where the air cond controls and head
unit are is now done up in a colour called “smoke silver”.

It
seems that the ceiling of the car also gets slightly reshaped with
little guidelines that help guide the air conditioning from the front
blowers to the third row. There is also added insulation in the roof to
reduce the noise that raindrops make when it hits the car’s roof.

In
Indonesia, the S-spec model gets a 2-DIN head unit instead of a 1-DIN
versions as well as a gated shifter, but a quick glance at the preview
specs of the facelifted Avanza posted up on UMW Toyota’s website shows
we still get a 1-DIN version. However, all of the automatic models in
Malaysia get the gated shifter, not just the S-spec model.

Another change that’s quite obvious from the photo above is a new colour
– white. It’s a very basic facelift, minor changes that are done just
to extend the lifespan of this model that has been around since 2004 and
facelifted once in 2006. If you follow a 5 year model lifespan it
should be retiring next year but it looks like the Avanza will be around
for quite sometime.
